Entry Type: Document

You can store your documents in Password Depot. The documents will be added to your encrypted database. To create a new entry for a Document, click on Edit → New → Document or select the entry from the drop-down menu for creating a new entry (small arrow to the right of Add in the toolbar).

When you add a new document, you must select the file first. The maximum file size is 256 MB.

Information Fields

The following fields are filled in automatically after file selection and are display-only:

  • Type: The type (file name extension) of the file.
  • Size: The size of the file.
  • Modified: Date and time of the last modification.

Editable Fields

The following fields are also available:

  • Document: The name of the file. This is automatically populated from the file name during file selection but can be manually edited.
  • Original path: The original path of the file. Click Erase to permanently and irrevocably delete the original file from your hard drive.
  • Default folder: The default folder for actions with this file (e.g., export). You may either type a path or click the folder icon on the right to browse for one.
  • Category: Categories help you structure your entries. Click Select to assign a category or manage categories.
  • Comment: Enter additional information.

Action Buttons

The following functions are available at the bottom:

  • View: Displays the file with the associated Windows application.
  • Edit: Opens the file with the associated Windows application for editing. If you modify and save the file externally, you will be prompted whether to update the changes in the database.
  • Import: Import the file again, e.g., from another source.
  • Export: Save the file to a storage location.

Click OK to save changes, or Cancel to close the window without saving changes.

NOTE: The Document entry type stores a file directly within Password Depot's database, i.e., documents are part of your Password Depot database. The Encrypted file entry type, on the other hand, is always stored on your data carrier, and only the password and the link to the encrypted file are stored in the Password Depot database. If you delete the file from your computer (e.g., using Windows Explorer), you can no longer access it.
